wow..the long wkend passed by so quickly...i guess quite a significant bit has happened since i last blogged...but i think im beginning to lose my drive n inspiration to blog...but to keep my readers updated (if you guys are even interested in reading)...
fri - cousin's wedding held at mount faber...forgot the name of the place, but it's a pub...but it was quite cool to have an outdoor wedding, and the scenery was fantastic...you can see a large part of singapore (esp sentosa) fr where i stood...i guess it's the kind of dream wedding i expect some pple to have...wonderful ambience and the weather was definitely a gift fr god as they might say...cool yet sunny...
for me, i was awed by my cousin's singing as he dedicated a song to his brother (the one gettin married) and as he also sang the wedding song (what a romantic tune to walk down the "pathway" (literally) in) his voice was really good...and his strumming the guitar as he sang!!! wow!!! i neva knew my couz was so pro!!! *sorry girls..he's attached already though* =)
the food was served buffet style...interesting twist to the usual chinese weddings that i know of...and i the BBQ-ed sting ray, chicken wing and skewered prawns were absolutely delicious, i felt they went short of food...cos singaporeans are well known for attacking a buffet spread like it's the last meal they'll every have.. haha..the moment the waiters replenish the food, it's gone! amazing man!!
couz and wife made a speach at the end of it all..a romantic and sincere one it was too... *tears* and ended off the night with a dance...salsa!!! it was enteratining to see my couz dancing...esp to salsa music when he so CANNOT shake his booty!! but it was all for a good cause i guess...haha... =) have a blessed marriage couz!
sat - alumni performance...i guess nerves got the better of us...the concert was a huge success, our juniors were great...they managed to build up the atmosphere fr the supportive crowd...but i think our performance could have been better...esp for me...i was too nervous i guess...halfway i could feel my feet shaking...geez...to think all the training for presentations actually made me feel worse! dear, ps, mei, n my parents came to support me....though there were no huge bouquets or whatever, i was really glad to have their support...while the others had their friends, i had my family there for me...and that's what's most important...
sun - went swimming...unsuccessful in getting a tan (what's new?) and then went shopping but didnt manage to buy anything...supposed to shop for present but it was rather uneventful...star wars at night...i thought it was a good movie...even though there's neither a beginning or an end...felt that the characters were developed a bit better this time around...wonder if i shd rent 4,5,6 so tt i can finish the show..but den i'll prob be bored by the lack of big bang tech scenes...we'll see...

good morning everybody!! =) brand new day again...n yesh!! it's midweek!!! 1 day closer to the wkend...as u can see..i really LOVE my job...so much so tt i count the days to the weekend...ok la..maybe its not tt bad...i DO get a sense of satisfaction after every tax comp...and i do like the kick of working thru a tough case now n then...but life's mundane...(geez, i dunno how many times i've said that since work started)
realised the diff btwn pple in my company n the other tenants of the building...pple in my company come late n leave late...u hardly see the whole office occupied at 830 when work's supposed to start...but nobody every leaves early too...e interns are like e 1st pple to march out...no wait..make tt "sneak out" of the office everyday... whereas the other tenants usually come early (judging fr the pple taking e lift with me every morn) but they leave a bit earlier too...of cos dis is generalisation, but it sort of follows...ok..juz musing abt what's gg on in this building...haha..nothing better to do right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i didn even get to say goodbye to e old car and it was gone when i got home yest...gees...not tt i really like e car but den we've had good times tghr... farewell mitsubishi...
dun like e smell of the new car...somehow e leather doesn sit well with my nose...but den it looks nice...in a way la...probably like damn a lot of cars exactly like it on sg roads, but den my mr potato managed to survive and locate itself on the new car... *cheer* oh..e car plate is SFU...geez..obscene!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cousin's wedding on fri...dunno what to wear... *groan* good news is tt i'll be taking time off fr work to attend the wedding...haha...YAY!!!

yes yes..ive not been blogging regularly since intern started...one cos im too lazy to blog after facing a computer screen the whole day...and two cos there's really nothing interesting going on in my life...
work is mundane...sort of anyway...got a difficult account tt gave me a headache on friday...totally spoilt my weekend mood...GRR...oh well, fri the 13! ha...somehow i feel it's a lucky day...but den my fate doesn reflect so...during lunch the aunty wiping the tables spilt chilli sauce on my skirt and she didnt even apologise!!! irritating!!! fortunately, my skirt has patterns on it so it "sorta" blended in... *sigh*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i need to go on a shopping spree...anyone wanna go wif me?? am running out of work clothes to wear...somehow im reminded of mrs toh and jc days when we always wondered how huge her wardrobe is..cos we neva see her repeat what she wears thru the year...haha...n e most unbelievable thing was that FAVIAN actually asked her...gosh! how funny!!! =) those were the good ole days...doing spastic things in class and having loads of fun...life somehow isn liddat for me anymore...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
daniel's bday party was ok la...there was the roti prata man making fresh prata for everyone...and dan baked his own birthday cake!! ha...so proud of him...AND i absolutely LOVED his candles...how cool were they!! luminous looking things!!! if i do throw a 21st party...i think im gonna use those candles!! =)

sheesh...at freaking 3am in e morn n im still awake for goodness knows what reason...perhaps it's my hungry tummy growling for food tt's keeping me up...ooh...i am so gonna regret this...eyebags!!! ooh the horrible ugly eyebags!!! =(
went for alumni prac today..surprised tt i can even get the notes right considering i've not touched the instrument in like 1 yr? well...ha! it was quite entertaining watching and listening to the teasing n bitching when some pple juz wun wanna give up playing a particular part of a piece...and fighting for places to play e melody..haha...some pple juz dun grow up...*shake head* hrm..ok la..i'd admit tt i like playing e melody too..for one it's WAY easier to get e tune and less likely to make mistakes...and also its usually what the audience would notice n pay attention to....but i wun fight n insist on it...haha...i hope i made e right decision to take part in e concert...cos i barely know half e peeps there and already i feel distant...
had a really good chilling session wif dear today...sitting at coffee bean n yakking abt stuff...yeah...long time since we did tt.. =) enjoyed every moment of it...the feeling of comfort and the closeness...i've been growing distant fr e world it seems...i feel like im not part of any clique, nor do i haf like majorly close frens right now...drifting drifting...doesn help tt some "friendships" are but so fake and its just there to keep up with apprearances...its tiring...and painful...but at least i know tt for this moment (as long as nobody comes along to ruin things) i have him...
perhaps tt's y i fight so hard to preserve this r/s...even though there are times when i really ask myself why im putting myself thru this...it's clear to me at this point in time tt he and i, we have a bond tt's been forged through the time we've spent with each other...an understanding of each other, sometimes so well it can get scary... also the companionship and friendship...and care and juz knowing the other person is there....
dear, you are my best friend and i love you for that...

2nd fruit day since i came...as usual, sam and i were TOTALLY left out...BLEH...i officially HATE the mailman who delivers the fruits...how can he not give us our apples?? =( not tt we gian...haha...we both agree tt its nothing to die for but den its juz so sad tt we're forgotten cos we sit at some obscure corner...

somehow im getting dizzy looking at the screen all day...eyebags also increase in size...which is damn sad cos i've not seen my eyes so dark since like exams?? but den again exam time i didn even haf my eyebags so big n dark... *sobs* muz be the stupid computer and reading all those files tt are gonna make me blind...
